We all have weird quirks that are fairly uncommon, to say the least. For the fear of being judged, we keep these weird things to ourselves; however, that doesn't stop us from being curious about what others have to hide.

So, to indulge in this secret knowledge, X (formerly Twitter) user @drakesbrother started a thread asking people to share their bad habits, weird confessions, and interesting things they do. The thread was quickly flooded with the strangest habits. 

Turns out, lots of us have funny habits that make perfect sense to us but might seem odd to others. Something like when someone has to read the last page of a book before they can start it from the beginning. One thing’s clear: what seems like quirky habits to some of us is just another day in the office for others.

Some confessed to measuring how long something will take in songs, others said that each time they get in their car, they make sure no one is sitting in the back seat. While some of these weird things to do sound a little bit odd, let’s not pretend you don't relate. 

Scroll below for the list of confessions from regularly weird people, and don't forget to share your own strange habits in the comments.

    This is incredibly common. Everyone does this, actually. Intrusive thoughts. I tend to think “how much can I key this car”.

    Cupboard doors need to be closed when not in use. It's not that I won't necessarily be able to sleep, it's just why would they be open?

    I rub one foot until I fall asleep. my husband says he knows exactly when I fall asleep because my foot stops moving. And during the night I'll reach my foot out and touch his leg, just so I know he's still there protecting me in my sleep.

    Me too!! i looked into the reasons why once and a few psychiatrists said it probably comes from being held as a baby and a parent rubbing our little feet and toes . The same can be said about people that like their head stroked or hair played with. Seems to fit!!

    I slowly point and unpoint my feet. I got it from watching happy cats when I was a kid, the way they extend and retract their toes. Ironically, now that I have a couple of cats, I can't do it so much because they think the motion under the sheet is a toy. OUCH
